What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the unadjusted rate from £120/m² to £96/m² by relying on three rental comparables, including a heavily incentivised lease at Gnd Flr North Wing Park House. The Tribunal examined the basket of rental evidence and comparable assessments, finding that whilst incentivised rents ranged down to £96.28/m², the rents presented (analysing between £96.28/m² and £150/m²) and all comparable properties with an adopted tone of £120/m² supported the reasonableness of the current assessments. The appeals were dismissed as the appellant failed to provide compelling evidence to reduce the RV.", <parameter name="vo_conceded_rv">null
